In their biggest crackdown ever on fake foreign teachers, the Chinese Public Security Bureau has now begun to verify the university diplomas of every incoming foreign teacher as well as those already employed in China. They subcontracted an American company to handle the daunting and tedious task to validate the educational credentials of 30,000 plus foreign teachers working in China every year.

At present SAFEA, the government agency responsible for issuing Foreign Expert Permits has leaked that 1 in every 3 foreign teachers working in China today are not genuine teachers and have a teaching background or even a university degree.That is 10,000 teacher impostors. When Chinese parents learned of this they were outraged and demanded government action.
